WesDym@anandamide Many years ago when I was looking for an immediate but temporary job in a new city, I found an ad looking for telephone psychics. Training included.
And I'm also old enough to remember ELIZA, the first chatbot (1960s), which also fooled many people (and also not intentionally).
The best resistance to this effect is conscious awareness of your own human fallibility.
levampyre@wesdym Exactly, doubt in one own's abilities is a virtue that will ultimately make you a better person. I don't know how some people are so convinced of themselves. Where did you get that certainty!?
